The show kicks off with talk of a Rams watch party and whether the team is truly legit this season. There’s also a local heads-up for Cerritos residents about rising sewage fees, along with practical advice on which bills you should never skip—spoiler: pay your water bill.
Michael Monks joins in with his unique take on downtown LA, offering a darkly humorous “weathervane” observation from Skid Row that signals the arrival of winter. The conversation also touches on Burbank’s decision not to pursue litigation over Warner Bros.’ sale to Netflix.
Conway then shares memories of his former partner Doug Steckler, including why Steckler despised New Year’s and a hilarious story involving the “Husky section” at Montgomery Ward—one of many classic Steckler moments.
The episode wraps with Eric Lisardo’s special “Conway Christmas” segment featuring the signature “Dinga DONGA,” updates from Nick Reiner, and commentary from a defense lawyer weighing in on who hired attorney Alan Jackson.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's k IF.
Speaker 2 (00:00):
I am six forty and you're listening to the Conway
Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 3 (00:08):
It is the Conway Show, ding Dong with you. Hey,
if you're on your way to Sofi Stadium and you
think you're gonna be watching the Rams, you will be,
but you'll be watching them on TV.
Speaker 1 (00:23):
Sorry.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
I had a couple of buddies going to the game
and one of my buddies going to the game didn't
know it was a watch party, and he is angry
as hell. He thought he was going to the Rams
game tonight. I got two buddies going. I got a
Mike and his kid is going. They knew it was
(00:46):
a watch party. They're set, they're they're excited. They got
another buddy that's going, and he's going with this kid,
and he thought, you know, his kid just said, I've
got tickets.
Speaker 1 (00:58):
You want to go to the Rams.
Speaker 3 (00:59):
I want to go see the Rams the Rams game,
And he said yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
And look, we grew up.
Speaker 3 (01:04):
In I grew up in the sixties and seventies. When
somebody said they have Dodger tickets, you assumed one hundred
percent that when you go to Dodger Stadium the Dodgers
are going to be there. But nowadays, when somebody says, hey,
do you want to go see the Rams, you have
to ask is it a watch party? Are they going
(01:25):
to be in town? Where are they going to be?
Are we going to Seattle? Are we going to Sofi.
There's a lot of questions with this, you know, these
new this new generation of kids.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
Uh, they they're you know, watching.
Speaker 3 (01:39):
It on TV at a stadium is the same as
watching it in person in Seattle. They enjoy it both ways.
But man, growing up, as somebody said, they had Rams tickets.
They had tickets to the Rams to see the Rams
in the coliseum. And I remember old school. I go back,
I go way back with the La Rams. Here's how
(01:59):
far I go back. The La Rams Roman Gabriel played
and you could park on the street near the coliseum.
You just drive around the coliseum a couple of times
you'd find a parking spot on the curb and you'd
literally park on the street and then go in and
watch the Rams play, you know, the Browns or the
Vikings or whoever. But nowadays that's over. You know, you've
(02:23):
got to get there early, you have got you have
got to pay for parking. Sometimes it's one hundred dollars
for parking. And this is gonna be a big game.
This is gonna be a big, huge game tonight. And
I'm telling you it's it's it's probably gonna be the
biggest Thursday night football game. I was talking to Eric,
(02:44):
the Duke of Sports, and it's probably gonna be the
biggest Thursday night football game in the history of the NFL.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
You got two teams, I believe both of them are
eleven and three. I think so. And that's gonna be
a major is it? Eleven three? Three?
Speaker 3 (03:00):
Yeah, eleven and three? Two teams e eleven and three
that I don't know when the last time that happened.
And so this's gonna be a huge, huge game tonight
in Seattle. We will bring you some of the score.
I don't think it kicks off till six, So we
got a couple hours until that happens. But how about
that Crozier going to a watch party and you think you're.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
Going to the game, God Almighty, Rams control their own
destiny right now. That's right.
Speaker 4 (03:27):
They went out, They get the NFC number one, they
get all home games, all of that.
Speaker 3 (03:32):
Yeah, they got to do it, and they will be
without Devonte Adams too, so it's gonna.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
Be tough to win up in Seattle.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
Seattle's got a great team and the Seattle crowd is loud.
I have my wife's from up in that area. She's
from Oregon, but right on the Oregon Washington border, so
there everybody is a Seattle Seahawks fan up there. And
they have a thing up there called the twelfth Man,
where you know, they fly for lags with number twelve
(04:01):
on it and they're the twelfth Man, which means let
me ask, uh steph wosh when he gets back, what
he thinks that means? Yes, Oh, there is hey steph osh.
Up in Seattle. A lot of the fans call themselves
the twelfth Man. What do you think that that's in
reference to? Uh, this is sea hootball? Yeah, football, So
what are you.
Speaker 5 (04:21):
Going to say?
Speaker 1 (04:21):
Are we talking sport?
Speaker 3 (04:22):
Yes, but what do you what do you think that
reference is? And when they say or the twelfth man,
we are the twelfth man, the twelfth person in the conference.
Oh that was pretty close. There's eleven guys on the
field and the fans are the twelfth man.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
The fans are like, that's oh, pave, that's kind of cool.
I don't know that. Yeah, yeah, yeah, the twelfth man.
Speaker 3 (04:47):
So they all when you see the number twelve, it's
not Tom Brady in a Seahawks jersey, they're the twelfth man.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
It's the fans.
Speaker 3 (04:53):
Yeah, the fans are the twelfth all of them. They
all get paid like they're the twelfth man. They all
have long term time.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
Do all the teams do that? No, I don't think so.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
I think, well, okay, I think a lot of teams
do it, but nobody does it. I think it started
in Seattle, and nobody does hiss big as Seattle definitely
known for it. Like when they won their Super Bowl,
they was a whole big twelfth man thing.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
Yeah, exactly exactly.
Speaker 3 (05:14):
So I've got a buddy who lives in Oregon, and
he said he can't wait for Portland to get a
baseball team because he's going to start the twelfth man
for that organization once they get a baseball team. I said,
you mean the tenth man. He goes, no, the twelfth man.
We're going to be the fans. We're the twelfth man.
(05:36):
I said, okay, Well, in baseball, there's not eleven guys
on the field and he goes it doesn't matter.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
We're the twelfth I said, Oh, I can't talk to
this guy. I can't reason with this guy. In baseball.
Speaker 3 (05:46):
Be the tenth man, not the twelfth man, because in
baseball you have nine guys on the field, not eleven.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
That's pretty cool though, that you include the fans that way.
I like that. Yeah, it is.
Speaker 3 (06:00):
As a matter of fact, I think you like it
so much you should move to Seattle and become a
twelfth man. Not right now, no, not now, but I
mean eventually when you have kids and wife and yeah, yeah,
you hate.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
Your life, you can go do.
Speaker 4 (06:12):
That, but angel.
Speaker 3 (06:16):
Life and you can slide up there, all right. Shoeage fees,
we got time for this, Yeah, I can think. We
do the sewage fees. You're not gonna like this, everybody,
especially if you live in this area.
Speaker 6 (06:29):
We have a deteriorating aging and.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
Failing mayor is that what he's gonna say.
Speaker 6 (06:36):
Eating aging and failing water and sewer infrastructure.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
Oh no, here we go. Where are they going to charge? Everybody?
Speaker 7 (06:43):
Were Frank Ailio Yoku Yama staff showed us photos of
the water wells and sewer systems. They say is in
desperate need of repairs. He says, the proposed increases would
fund those upgrades.
Speaker 6 (06:54):
Our residents and businesses should be paying the true cost.
Speaker 3 (06:59):
Okay, this is in Crito's If you live in Critos,
you know six oh five and you nowhere sold street,
sold Street, you are about to get an increase in
your sewage, your water on hol run by seventy five
since no, no, no, no, seventy five percent.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
It's almost doubling.
Speaker 6 (07:18):
Of the operations and the maintenance.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
And you can't do anything about it.
Speaker 7 (07:23):
Some residents understand the need, but they say they worry
about those who might be stretched too thin already.
Speaker 8 (07:29):
For our seniors and our elderly to have to choose,
yes between uh you know water and uh well water.
When the water bill goes up, they don't get a choice.
They have to pay, and then they have to choose
between their other bills.
Speaker 7 (07:43):
Carlo Gilho's is among a group of residents and neighbors
going door to door to get neighbors support against the
hikes we just want.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
By the way, when she says this, there are other bills,
Carla a right when she's listening to her right here.
Speaker 8 (07:55):
And then they have to choose between their other bills.
Speaker 3 (07:57):
Okay, Well, if you have to choose between water and
any other bill, I'd go with water. I'd pay the
water bill first. I don't think having the internet and
no water is a cool move. I don't think having
a cell phone and no water.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
I don't go get water though somewhere I don't know,
for bathing and everything. Your neighbor's got a hose. I
think how I did it when I was homeless.
Speaker 3 (08:18):
Yeah, but if you live in a house in Soritos
and you're bumming water off your neighbor, I think they
shut you down pretty quick.
Speaker 4 (08:27):
Oh come on, neighbors, here some water. I can't give
you any energy unless you're running extension court.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
Maybe be like a gift basket. Here's a six bottles
of water. Some ice cube trays.
Speaker 4 (08:39):
Ice cube the old fast one like the metal ones
with the handle that you pulled.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
Up and it didn't give you cubes, just crushed.
Speaker 3 (08:46):
Your and and those tins often bray. They get dented
immediately because you're putting so much power in them to
pull that metal. They're gonna have to choose between water.
What you're gonna pay me for water? God a mighty,
it's happening to people. All Right, we're gonna get back.
(09:07):
We got breaking news. We'll get to it.
Speaker 1 (09:09):
Something's gotta be breaking.
Speaker 9 (09:10):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 3 (09:17):
Beautiful day out today in southern California. One of the
reasons why everybody moves here is the beautiful, beautiful weather.
And the man sitting in front of me is no
exception from Kentucky, Michael A.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
Monks.
Speaker 10 (09:29):
It's snowy and icy and disgusting back home, and I'm
just so grateful to be part of this mess we
call Los Angeles Now.
Speaker 3 (09:35):
I heard Ohio, parts of o Hire getting twenty inches
of snow.
Speaker 10 (09:39):
It's a lot, and it's been a lot for like
the past several weeks, so, my goodness, I kind of
wish it were a little cooler. I have to admit,
it's a little warm out there. I got a sweater
on today, and you know, I dress for the calendar,
not the forecast. I get that it's a little sweaty sometimes.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
You know, you live in Kentucky and anymore I live
in downtown Los Angele. Okay, you lived in.
Speaker 3 (09:59):
Kentucky and you knew the seasons were coming because you
could see the trees, you could see the weather. You
can see, you know, the days go shorter, much longer
in the summer, much shorter in the winter, and then
you can see the flowers come out and spring people
with their boats and their RVs in the summer. There's
a lot of signs that the seasons are changing. In Kentucky.
There are zero out here. Yeah, you really don't get
(10:20):
a lot.
Speaker 10 (10:21):
Not zero.
Speaker 3 (10:22):
You know how you know the changing out here when
you go to Walmart or Target and you go back
to season, all you go, oh, it must be spring.
Speaker 10 (10:28):
The selling fertilizer my weather vane in downtown Los Angeles
next to skid row is the number of bum fires
you see set on the sidewalk. When those start to
pop up more, I know that winter.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
Is not, but I don't. I don't.
Speaker 10 (10:44):
I'll add that to the list for sure. I mean,
you can you can monitor that. It's the weather vein
you know of downtown LA. Is how many fires these
homeless people starting next to buildings and just leaving them
there on the streets.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
It's constant.
Speaker 10 (10:56):
You'll see them at night like little what do they
call those luminaries that you can put.
Speaker 1 (10:59):
Oh yeah, I see.
Speaker 3 (11:00):
But I wonder why there are so many bum fires.
And I think it's because they are not really efficient
and keep track of things in their personal life, and
that's how I think they and a lot of them
end up there.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
Anyway.
Speaker 10 (11:13):
Well, it is genuinely cold. This is something people I
think outside of LA don't know. You just assume that
LA is just sunny and warm all the time.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
It's not.
Speaker 10 (11:22):
No, it's free. I mean even in the city proper.
I know that in the valleys and in the mountains
it can obviously get extremely cold at times.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
It got wind last night.
Speaker 10 (11:30):
Yeah, of course, I mean it's cold in Los Angeles.
I like that cold. That weather is why I moved here.
I'm constantly chasing that perfect temperature, and we really get
it here in the winter time. I don't miss the
changing of the seasons because, like you notice, the snow
starts to come down in December, maybe the leaves start
to change in late September. It's all very romantic at
(11:51):
the beginning, and you get over it really fast once
Christmas passes and it's just nasty snow and it's cold,
and you've got three months of that, and then it's
just allergy season, and then it's just brutal.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
Humidity in the summer.
Speaker 3 (12:09):
The humidity in Cleveland when I spent my summers with
my grandparents was breathtaking.
Speaker 10 (12:15):
It's you can't breathe. Yeah, but there are times in
the winter you can see the air. In the summer,
you can look at it, you can smell it on
your clothes. Yeah, exactly. And then in the winter it's
cold in places like Cleveland, it's cold in places like
Cincinnati and northern Kentucky where I'm from, it's so cold
that it hurts to breathe. Yeah, you feel the air,
and I don't miss that.
Speaker 3 (12:34):
And they have, you know, on my Cleveland's on the
southeast side of Lake Erie, so there's a lake effect,
and that means all the snow that's coming off that lake.
It's Cleveland, Buffalo, you know, northern Ohio and eastern New
York and they get wiped out.
Speaker 10 (12:51):
And the Great Lakes are beautiful, they really are. Lake
Erie is the smallest. I mean it's not the smallest.
I think Ontario is the smallest, but Lake Lake Erie
is one of the two stallest. I would summer a
vacation up in northern Michigan on Lake Michigan and Lake Huron.
Because of what I said a moment ago, I'm constantly
chasing that and it's perfect up there in the summer.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
Is that up near Marquette exactly?
Speaker 10 (13:12):
Marquette's on the upper Peninsula, but the lower Peninsula, Traverse City, Pataski, Mcinnall.
Speaker 3 (13:18):
And every one of those cities is like it. It
could be turned into a coffee table book. They're beautiful.
They all kind of look the same. Is the smallest
great lake by the way, it is Erieerie. Thank you, Courscher.
I appreciate the fact, Jack for sure. What I mean,
all right, so Warner Brothers and Burbank, they're in the news.
Speaker 10 (13:37):
Well, look, we know that there's this possible significant business
deal taking place in Hollywood. And when you look out
this window, what do you see Conway Warner brook You.
Speaker 3 (13:46):
See Warner Brooks, right, and we are in where and
we are in Hollywood, We're in Burbank.
Speaker 10 (13:51):
We're in the city of Burbank, of course technically, and
that's a big deal for the city of Burbank. They
call themselves the media capital of the world. And I mean,
you can't swing a can outside our studio without hitting
some of these places, and Warner Brothers is certainly one
of them. So as this deal with Netflix aggressively pursuing
a purchase of Warner Brothers Discovery and then Paramount Skydance
(14:12):
getting involved trying to sneak in the back door to
do their own acquisition of this company, people in the
entertainment business are nervous. But as far as Burbank goes,
it's kind of like a local business issue. It's like
that Tyson plants and Nebraska closing down, Like what does
this mean for our local economy?
Speaker 1 (14:30):
That's the question.
Speaker 10 (14:31):
So last week one of the city council members here
in Burbank, Constantine Anthony, says, we need to get it
together and prepare litigation to get involved in this and
possibly stop it because they're worried about losing those jobs.
Speaker 3 (14:43):
Okay, but the reason why they're doing that is because
they fell asleep when NBC used to be right there.
Speaker 1 (14:50):
That was NBC.
Speaker 3 (14:51):
They moved to Universal Disney, which owns ABC, moved that
to Glendale and at Burbank doesn't want to be coached
like this.
Speaker 10 (15:01):
And it's not as big a deal if it's not
as big a deal for a worker. Say you live
in Tarzana and you work at NBC and it was
here on this lot next to iHeart and Burbank and
has since moved to Universal City. Right, that's not a
big deal for that worker. But it is a big
deal it is for Burbank, right, because that's money that comes.
Speaker 1 (15:20):
Right.
Speaker 3 (15:20):
But I think they were asleep at the wheel when
NBC moved and when ABC was put in Glendale, and
they don't want that anymore, and so I think there's
a little bit of you know, they're reacting to the
citizens of Burbank looking at another major laws for Burbank. Plus,
you know, Burbank is the only city in all of
California the doubles in population every day because of the workforce.
(15:42):
Burbank's one hundred and five thousand people and there's two
hundred and ten thousand people at work in Burbank.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
It's a lot of people.
Speaker 10 (15:47):
So Councilman Anthony proposed this at this week's council meeting
and was told this by the city attorney Foosh.
Speaker 11 (15:56):
First, I can tell you we don't have authority to file.
Speaker 1 (15:59):
Such an action.
Speaker 11 (16:01):
The state action for unfair competition is Business and Professions
Code one seven two hundred. It's the California Attorney General,
Rob Bonto that has authority to bring those actions, as
well as district attorneys and city attorneys for cities with
a population of seven hundred and fifty thousand or more.
(16:22):
There's four of those, Los Angeles, San Diego, San Jose,
and San Francisco. So we do not possess the authority.
It brings such an action on our own, and I
would have to seek outside council even to provide memorandum
to the council. So also the memorandum.
Speaker 10 (16:45):
That I provide, well that's okay, Well he's going to say,
there's also if I do prepare this memorandum, it's basically
preparing to go to war in a courtroom, which means
we can't present this to the public.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
It's protected. It's very very prime.
Speaker 10 (17:00):
It's why city councils go into a closed session and
talk about these things. So here's what they decided after
this meeting and the attorney saying, we're not la You
just noted their population. It doesn't meet the seven hundred
and fifty thousand threshold. They're going to write a strongly
worded letter to their federal and state leaders and ask
them to keep it.
Speaker 1 (17:20):
Oh, that's so classic, buddy, that is so rich. You know.
The city Attorney's like, we can't do anything here.
Speaker 10 (17:27):
Well, what's interesting about it is because, as we've just
been discussing, all of these internationally known companies are right
here in Burbank. That's right, And Burbank doesn't have legal
recourse to get involved in this very significant deal because
it just happens to be a small, relatively in La County,
small city.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
Swinging a miss big time.
Speaker 3 (17:48):
Yeah, buddy, thanks for coming in Saturday, seven to nine,
seven to nine, will be right here on kfive, right
here on AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
Thing wrong with you, buddy?
Speaker 9 (17:57):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
Am six forty.
Speaker 3 (18:03):
You know what Steckler used to do every New Year's
He hated New Year's. Doug Steckler hated New Year's And
I can't tell you why, but he had a really
bad experience on New Year's and he hated him.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
He hated everything about it. You don't know why you're
not alive. I know why, but I'm not going to
tell you why.
Speaker 3 (18:20):
It's it's really bad. So he hated New Year's and
it was a heartbreak that he had on New Year's.
So what he did was he hired when he had
a lot of money, he would hire a doctor to
come to the house. And the doctor he would put
(18:43):
some of these chemicals, you know, sleeping agents together, and
he would literally at noon on December thirty first, administer
the drugs and put Steckler out until noon on January first,
and he would stay there and monitor him, and he would, yeah,
he would put him to sleep, put rubber sheets on
(19:05):
the bed in case.
Speaker 1 (19:05):
He soiled himself. Oh my god, put himself out.
Speaker 12 (19:10):
Is this all because his mom embarrassed him and said
I'm in the.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
No no, no, no, no no no.
Speaker 3 (19:16):
That's that he got over that. That's that's actually a
great story. My Doug Steckler was going to school and
he was a goofy kid.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
He was like me, you know.
Speaker 3 (19:27):
He didn't have a lot of game in fourth grade,
not that he had any junior high or high school either,
but and he would admit that, but leu Anne was
the prettiest girl in his class. And I think fourth
or fifth grade and he was at sears shopping for
back to school clothing in Vermilion, South Dakota, where he's from.
(19:48):
And Doug Steckler was my old partner on radio when
I was on Kala Sex. He also was a writer.
He's an Emmy Award winner for SCTV. He was very
good friends with John Candy and Marty Short. He grew
up in that same went through set with that same class,
and just one of the funniest, smartest guys you've ever
met in your life.
Speaker 1 (20:07):
And he saw this.
Speaker 3 (20:10):
He was in fifth grade and he's at sears with
his mom and he sees lu Anne and he comes
around a corner and she comes around the corner. They
almost run into each other, and he goes, oh, I'm sorry,
and she goes, oh, that's okay, Doug, nice to see you.
And he's like, you know who I am and she goes, yeah,
you're Doug Steckler, and his heart dropped. And he sat
(20:33):
there for two minutes talking to the prettiest girl in
his elementary school and she knew who he was, and
talking and talking and talking, laughing, telling stories about what
happened in school, really hitting it off. And then his
mom from about forty feet away said.
Speaker 1 (20:57):
Hey, Doggie, I found the husky section that was a wrap.
She looked down.
Speaker 3 (21:09):
He looked down, and he went to the husky section
because he's a big kid growing up, you know, and
we're the husky clothes. And he said he could tell
you the square of linoleum in that seers where he
was standing. It just burned a hole in his brain.
Speaker 1 (21:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (21:28):
By one of the funniest, smartest men you've ever met
your life. Here's here's one of the funny things he did,
one of millions. We were driving. We used to work
in Toronto. We used to live in Toronto and work
in Hamilton. It's about an hour and a half drive
there and back on the four to one if you're
familiar with that part of Canada. So we drive to Hamilton,
work all day on a show called Boogie's Diner. Anybody anybody, No, okay?
(21:52):
And then we drive home. We drive back there, drive
home every day, five days a week. And we drove
by and he says, can you get off at the
next exit. I said, yeah, you go to a good bathroom.
He goes, no, I gotta go tell I gotta go
talk to that hotel owner back there. So I said okay.
So I get off the freeway and I go back
to the hotel and this little tiny motel in the
middle of nowhere between Hamilton and Toronto and run down
(22:15):
motel on the side of the road, and he goes
and he stops. He goes, you gotta take a picture
with me with this road sign and the sign on
the front of the hotel. This is a hotel where
you would go if you could not possibly travel another inch.
Like you you just had to pass out and quickly
get eight hours rest and get back on the road,
(22:36):
or you had no money, and this is your last resort.
Speaker 1 (22:39):
It was a hotel for losers.
Speaker 3 (22:43):
And on the outside of that it said motel like
Greenway Motel. And on the outside on their marquee had
said your eleventh night is free night. He said, you
got to take a picture with me at this hotel,
the crappiest hotel in the world.
Speaker 1 (23:03):
Your eleventh night is free.
Speaker 3 (23:05):
And then he goes into the lobby goes, I got
to talk to the kid that put that up. And
there was this young kid in there who was just
busting everybody's balls, and he loved that. Doug Steckler came
in and complimented on that joke. He was super for
that kid. He's like eighteen year old kid, and he goes, yeah,
I did that. Isn't that great? He goes, Buddy, That's
one of the funniest things I've ever seen in my life.
(23:25):
The eleventh night is free. I remember that moment like
it was yesterday. Man, the smartest, funniest guy in the world.
Douglas Marsden Steckler from South from Vermilion, South Dakota.
Speaker 1 (23:39):
Ah, it's sweet man.
Speaker 9 (23:41):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (23:47):
Ding Dong.
Speaker 3 (23:48):
This is a radical traffic day. So if you're stuck
in traffic, I relax. We'll be here with your old
seven and so we're hanging out together. We got another
two hours and eleven minutes, so just don't get crazy.
All right, there's traffic. It's gotta be one of the
worst traffic days of the year. Angel Is it the
worst traffic day of the year next to the Wednesday
(24:09):
before Thanksgiving? Aren't a lot of people leaving today to
get away for the holiday?
Speaker 12 (24:13):
It really seems like it. I mean, we're seeing huge delays,
and then on top of that, there's like big incidents
that are adding to the miserable drive.
Speaker 1 (24:21):
That's already there. Ah, christ, where's that tahunga?
Speaker 12 (24:26):
This big rig fire? The two ten westbound at Latuna
Canyon Road, they only have not even a legitimate lane,
the center divider and the left lane. People, are you
buy through the two to ten westbound?
Speaker 1 (24:43):
Well that sucks? All right?
Speaker 12 (24:46):
All right, thank you Angel, Hey Tim, you're welcome, he said,
thank you Angel. Yeah, oh thanks Angels, thanks you guys, thanks.
Speaker 6 (24:55):
Thank you.
Speaker 3 (24:56):
There she goes, all right, let's thank you, thank you
very much. All right, Hey, somebody said us a Christmas
you know, let's do something light. I hate all this
murder crap that we gotta do. Here, somebody sent us
something pretty cool. It's a Christmas song and they rewrote
the word. Let's give it a listen. Here we go.
Speaker 1 (25:28):
Ok, Well this.
Speaker 9 (25:33):
Age your show with closure Agel sniption.
Speaker 1 (25:41):
Ventis on says ing dog. He says it all your.
Speaker 13 (25:50):

Speaker 1 (26:03):
Wait Wow, that was that was so good. That was
awesome ding donga. Thank you Eric, Yes, thank you.
Speaker 11 (26:17):
Eric.
Speaker 1 (26:18):
Makes me want to jump out this window because of
all the ding dongs. Let's play it again.
Speaker 3 (26:28):
I like that about that one one of the this
was my favorite party show fits perfectly.
Speaker 1 (26:40):
Wait, hey fit in the time.
Speaker 3 (26:50):
He's at home listening like f that guy. I'm not
doing I'm not doing this crap again. No, I'm just kidding.
It's great. It's the greatest thing I've heard.
Speaker 1 (26:58):
All right, let's get in to this story. Here.
Speaker 3 (27:03):
We have time, yet, we have time. This is a
crazy story Nick Reiner. Mark garre Goes is chiming in
on why and who hired Alan Jackson to represent Nick
Reiner in the death and the stabbing death of his parents,
Rob and Michelle Reiner.
Speaker 14 (27:21):
And obviously this neighborhood's still reeling from what happened this weekend,
really trying to sort it all out, both the emotions
and figuring out what exactly happened this weekend. The specifics
haven't really come out, and today a very prominent defense
attorney who knows a little something about murdered parents is
weighing in on what a possible defense strategy could be.
Flowers and holiday candles placed outside Rob and Michelle Reiner's
Brentwood home where the couple were killed over the weekend.
(27:43):
For the next three weeks, their son Nick Reyner, who's
charged with their murders, will wait in jail for his
January arrangement as his high profile attorney, Alan Jackson spends
the holidays preparing a defense. Another prominent defense attorney, Mark Gerrigos,
who currently represents the Menendez brothers who famously killed their parents,
thinks he knows what Jackson's strategy will be.
Speaker 5 (28:01):
I would believe not just that in not guilty by
reason of insanity please in the works, but they put
over the arraignment because I believe what is happening is.
Speaker 13 (28:17):
A doubt as to the competency of Nick Reiner.
Speaker 14 (28:21):
Jackson was tight liptet.
Speaker 1 (28:22):
What was that somebody else?
Speaker 3 (28:24):
Was that another channel that was open when he was
explaining that, like the meat of that story, and then
somebody else was talking.
Speaker 13 (28:31):
What a doubt as to the competency of Nick Reiner.
Speaker 3 (28:40):
Okay, this, Alan Jackson's got a very difficult job because
you don't want to trash Rob and Michelle Reiner, like
you have to to get this kid off, but you
don't want to seem like you're too eager to put
this kid to death or send him to jail for
the rest of his life either. And if he does
(29:01):
end up trashing Like, let's say he does take that
route where he says, you know, Carl Reiner and Michelle
were horrible parents to this kid. I don't know if
they worry or not. But let's say he does go
that route. People are gonna be really pissed off to
hear that. And he's trashing Rob Reiner and Michelle Reiner
with their money. Nick's broke, it's going to be their
(29:22):
own money hiring a lawyer to trash them. Oh, it's
a very difficult job. This guy has, this Alan Jackson.
I don't envy him at all. He's in a no
win position. If he gets this kid off, people will
hate him. If he doesn't get this kid off, people
will hate him. And Michelle and Rob Reiner were very
well liked in Hollywood, and they don't like the taste
(29:42):
of this high powered attorney going to trash Michelle and
Rob Reiner. It's gonna be very difficult. If I was
Alan Jackson, I'd quit, I'd quit, I'd go on to
something else. This is not the case for you, because
this case will only lead to a lot of people
hate you. A lot of people in Hollywood. The only
(30:03):
people are going to really warm up to you are murderers,
you know, future murderers. I guess that's what you're in
for them. You know, that's who pays you people murder.
So maybe he's going after that crew.
Speaker 1 (30:16):
Who knows.
Speaker 3 (30:17):
All right, we are I'm sorry. The Rams play tonight.
This is a big story tonight Rams in Seattle. This
is a Monday night, I mean sorry, Thursday night football game.
And it's going to be the first time eleven and three,
two teams that are eleven three get together and play
each other. And this is potentially for all the marbles,
(30:37):
so it's going to be a huge game. The Rams
have put on a watch party at Sofi Stadium, So
if you go to Sofi Stadium. I don't know if
it's invite only. I heard it was just for seasoned
seat holders, but maybe I don't know. You know somebody
who is associated with the Rams, and you can fly
out there and watch the game in a big, huge
(30:57):
watch party, you know watch party. These usually don't happen
in Los Angeles for a couple of reasons. One is
nobody wants to fight traffic to go watch a game
that they can watch at home. The reason why works
in New York and you know Montreal and Toronto is
because people just take the subway. They go to the
you know, the stadium, they watch with thirty eight thousand people,
(31:20):
and then they go home on the subway and you
can get there real quickly. But nobody wants to fight
three hours of traffic to watch a game that you
can watch at home. Plus people in New York they
don't have big screen TVs. I've never seen an apartment
in New York with a big screen TV, not once
in my life. But in LA, everybody's got one. Everybody
(31:41):
has a big screen. Every single home I've ever walked into.
In Los Angeles they have sixty sixty inch, six seventy inch,
eighty five, ninety inch. They have these huge TVs. We
are all about the big TVs. But in New York,
everybody has like a twenty four inch you know, maybe
I don't know, twelve inch, maybe thirty two if the
guy's wild. But we have great TVs out here in LA,
(32:05):
and we hate traffic, so it's very difficult to get
for you to get thirty thousand people to drive and
pay to watch a game that you could watch at
home for free. All right, We're live on KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 2 (32:19):
Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app. Now, you
can always hear us live on KFI AM six forty
four to seven pm Monday through Friday, and anytime on
demand on the iHeart Radio app
It's k IF.
Speaker 2 (00:00):
I am six forty and you're listening to the Conway
Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 3 (00:08):
It is the Conway Show, ding Dong with you. Hey,
if you're on your way to Sofi Stadium and you
think you're gonna be watching the Rams, you will be,
but you'll be watching them on TV.
Speaker 1 (00:23):
Sorry.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
I had a couple of buddies going to the game
and one of my buddies going to the game didn't
know it was a watch party, and he is angry
as hell. He thought he was going to the Rams
game tonight. I got two buddies going. I got a
Mike and his kid is going. They knew it was
(00:46):
a watch party. They're set, they're they're excited. They got
another buddy that's going, and he's going with this kid,
and he thought, you know, his kid just said, I've
got tickets.
Speaker 1 (00:58):
You want to go to the Rams.
Speaker 3 (00:59):
I want to go see the Rams the Rams game,
And he said yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
And look, we grew up.
Speaker 3 (01:04):
In I grew up in the sixties and seventies. When
somebody said they have Dodger tickets, you assumed one hundred
percent that when you go to Dodger Stadium the Dodgers
are going to be there. But nowadays, when somebody says, hey,
do you want to go see the Rams, you have
to ask is it a watch party? Are they going
(01:25):
to be in town? Where are they going to be?
Are we going to Seattle? Are we going to Sofi.
There's a lot of questions with this, you know, these
new this new generation of kids.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
Uh, they they're you know, watching.
Speaker 3 (01:39):
It on TV at a stadium is the same as
watching it in person in Seattle. They enjoy it both ways.
But man, growing up, as somebody said, they had Rams tickets.
They had tickets to the Rams to see the Rams
in the coliseum. And I remember old school. I go back,
I go way back with the La Rams. Here's how
(01:59):
far I go back. The La Rams Roman Gabriel played
and you could park on the street near the coliseum.
You just drive around the coliseum a couple of times
you'd find a parking spot on the curb and you'd
literally park on the street and then go in and
watch the Rams play, you know, the Browns or the
Vikings or whoever. But nowadays that's over. You know, you've
(02:23):
got to get there early, you have got you have
got to pay for parking. Sometimes it's one hundred dollars
for parking. And this is gonna be a big game.
This is gonna be a big, huge game tonight. And
I'm telling you it's it's it's probably gonna be the
biggest Thursday night football game. I was talking to Eric,
(02:44):
the Duke of Sports, and it's probably gonna be the
biggest Thursday night football game in the history of the NFL.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
You got two teams, I believe both of them are
eleven and three. I think so. And that's gonna be
a major is it? Eleven three? Three?
Speaker 3 (03:00):
Yeah, eleven and three? Two teams e eleven and three
that I don't know when the last time that happened.
And so this's gonna be a huge, huge game tonight
in Seattle. We will bring you some of the score.
I don't think it kicks off till six, So we
got a couple hours until that happens. But how about
that Crozier going to a watch party and you think you're.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
Going to the game, God Almighty, Rams control their own
destiny right now. That's right.
Speaker 4 (03:27):
They went out, They get the NFC number one, they
get all home games, all of that.
Speaker 3 (03:32):
Yeah, they got to do it, and they will be
without Devonte Adams too, so it's gonna.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
Be tough to win up in Seattle.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
Seattle's got a great team and the Seattle crowd is loud.
I have my wife's from up in that area. She's
from Oregon, but right on the Oregon Washington border, so
there everybody is a Seattle Seahawks fan up there. And
they have a thing up there called the twelfth Man,
where you know, they fly for lags with number twelve
(04:01):
on it and they're the twelfth Man, which means let
me ask, uh steph wosh when he gets back, what
he thinks that means? Yes, Oh, there is hey steph osh.
Up in Seattle. A lot of the fans call themselves
the twelfth Man. What do you think that that's in
reference to? Uh, this is sea hootball? Yeah, football, So
what are you.
Speaker 5 (04:21):
Going to say?
Speaker 1 (04:21):
Are we talking sport?
Speaker 3 (04:22):
Yes, but what do you what do you think that
reference is? And when they say or the twelfth man,
we are the twelfth man, the twelfth person in the conference.
Oh that was pretty close. There's eleven guys on the
field and the fans are the twelfth man.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
The fans are like, that's oh, pave, that's kind of cool.
I don't know that. Yeah, yeah, yeah, the twelfth man.
Speaker 3 (04:47):
So they all when you see the number twelve, it's
not Tom Brady in a Seahawks jersey, they're the twelfth man.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
It's the fans.
Speaker 3 (04:53):
Yeah, the fans are the twelfth all of them. They
all get paid like they're the twelfth man. They all
have long term time.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
Do all the teams do that? No, I don't think so.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
I think, well, okay, I think a lot of teams
do it, but nobody does it. I think it started
in Seattle, and nobody does hiss big as Seattle definitely
known for it. Like when they won their Super Bowl,
they was a whole big twelfth man thing.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
Yeah, exactly exactly.
Speaker 3 (05:14):
So I've got a buddy who lives in Oregon, and
he said he can't wait for Portland to get a
baseball team because he's going to start the twelfth man
for that organization once they get a baseball team. I said,
you mean the tenth man. He goes, no, the twelfth man.
We're going to be the fans. We're the twelfth man.
(05:36):
I said, okay, Well, in baseball, there's not eleven guys
on the field and he goes it doesn't matter.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
We're the twelfth I said, Oh, I can't talk to
this guy. I can't reason with this guy. In baseball.
Speaker 3 (05:46):
Be the tenth man, not the twelfth man, because in
baseball you have nine guys on the field, not eleven.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
That's pretty cool though, that you include the fans that way.
I like that. Yeah, it is.
Speaker 3 (06:00):
As a matter of fact, I think you like it
so much you should move to Seattle and become a
twelfth man. Not right now, no, not now, but I
mean eventually when you have kids and wife and yeah, yeah,
you hate.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
Your life, you can go do.
Speaker 4 (06:12):
That, but angel.
Speaker 3 (06:16):
Life and you can slide up there, all right. Shoeage fees,
we got time for this, Yeah, I can think. We
do the sewage fees. You're not gonna like this, everybody,
especially if you live in this area.
Speaker 6 (06:29):
We have a deteriorating aging and.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
Failing mayor is that what he's gonna say.
Speaker 6 (06:36):
Eating aging and failing water and sewer infrastructure.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
Oh no, here we go. Where are they going to charge? Everybody?
Speaker 7 (06:43):
Were Frank Ailio Yoku Yama staff showed us photos of
the water wells and sewer systems. They say is in
desperate need of repairs. He says, the proposed increases would
fund those upgrades.
Speaker 6 (06:54):
Our residents and businesses should be paying the true cost.
Speaker 3 (06:59):
Okay, this is in Crito's If you live in Critos,
you know six oh five and you nowhere sold street,
sold Street, you are about to get an increase in
your sewage, your water on hol run by seventy five
since no, no, no, no, seventy five percent.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
It's almost doubling.
Speaker 6 (07:18):
Of the operations and the maintenance.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
And you can't do anything about it.
Speaker 7 (07:23):
Some residents understand the need, but they say they worry
about those who might be stretched too thin already.
Speaker 8 (07:29):
For our seniors and our elderly to have to choose,
yes between uh you know water and uh well water.
When the water bill goes up, they don't get a choice.
They have to pay, and then they have to choose
between their other bills.
Speaker 7 (07:43):
Carlo Gilho's is among a group of residents and neighbors
going door to door to get neighbors support against the
hikes we just want.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
By the way, when she says this, there are other bills,
Carla a right when she's listening to her right here.
Speaker 8 (07:55):
And then they have to choose between their other bills.
Speaker 3 (07:57):
Okay, Well, if you have to choose between water and
any other bill, I'd go with water. I'd pay the
water bill first. I don't think having the internet and
no water is a cool move. I don't think having
a cell phone and no water.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
I don't go get water though somewhere I don't know,
for bathing and everything. Your neighbor's got a hose. I
think how I did it when I was homeless.
Speaker 3 (08:18):
Yeah, but if you live in a house in Soritos
and you're bumming water off your neighbor, I think they
shut you down pretty quick.
Speaker 4 (08:27):
Oh come on, neighbors, here some water. I can't give
you any energy unless you're running extension court.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
Maybe be like a gift basket. Here's a six bottles
of water. Some ice cube trays.
Speaker 4 (08:39):
Ice cube the old fast one like the metal ones
with the handle that you pulled.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
Up and it didn't give you cubes, just crushed.
Speaker 3 (08:46):
Your and and those tins often bray. They get dented
immediately because you're putting so much power in them to
pull that metal. They're gonna have to choose between water.
What you're gonna pay me for water? God a mighty,
it's happening to people. All Right, we're gonna get back.
(09:07):
We got breaking news. We'll get to it.
Speaker 1 (09:09):
Something's gotta be breaking.
Speaker 9 (09:10):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 3 (09:17):
Beautiful day out today in southern California. One of the
reasons why everybody moves here is the beautiful, beautiful weather.
And the man sitting in front of me is no
exception from Kentucky, Michael A.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
Monks.
Speaker 10 (09:29):
It's snowy and icy and disgusting back home, and I'm
just so grateful to be part of this mess we
call Los Angeles Now.
Speaker 3 (09:35):
I heard Ohio, parts of o Hire getting twenty inches
of snow.
Speaker 10 (09:39):
It's a lot, and it's been a lot for like
the past several weeks, so, my goodness, I kind of
wish it were a little cooler. I have to admit,
it's a little warm out there. I got a sweater
on today, and you know, I dress for the calendar,
not the forecast. I get that it's a little sweaty sometimes.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
You know, you live in Kentucky and anymore I live
in downtown Los Angele. Okay, you lived in.
Speaker 3 (09:59):
Kentucky and you knew the seasons were coming because you
could see the trees, you could see the weather. You
can see, you know, the days go shorter, much longer
in the summer, much shorter in the winter, and then
you can see the flowers come out and spring people
with their boats and their RVs in the summer. There's
a lot of signs that the seasons are changing. In Kentucky.
There are zero out here. Yeah, you really don't get
(10:20):
a lot.
Speaker 10 (10:21):
Not zero.
Speaker 3 (10:22):
You know how you know the changing out here when
you go to Walmart or Target and you go back
to season, all you go, oh, it must be spring.
Speaker 10 (10:28):
The selling fertilizer my weather vane in downtown Los Angeles
next to skid row is the number of bum fires
you see set on the sidewalk. When those start to
pop up more, I know that winter.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
Is not, but I don't. I don't.
Speaker 10 (10:44):
I'll add that to the list for sure. I mean,
you can you can monitor that. It's the weather vein
you know of downtown LA. Is how many fires these
homeless people starting next to buildings and just leaving them
there on the streets.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
It's constant.
Speaker 10 (10:56):
You'll see them at night like little what do they
call those luminaries that you can put.
Speaker 1 (10:59):
Oh yeah, I see.
Speaker 3 (11:00):
But I wonder why there are so many bum fires.
And I think it's because they are not really efficient
and keep track of things in their personal life, and
that's how I think they and a lot of them
end up there.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
Anyway.
Speaker 10 (11:13):
Well, it is genuinely cold. This is something people I
think outside of LA don't know. You just assume that
LA is just sunny and warm all the time.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
It's not.
Speaker 10 (11:22):
No, it's free. I mean even in the city proper.
I know that in the valleys and in the mountains
it can obviously get extremely cold at times.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
It got wind last night.
Speaker 10 (11:30):
Yeah, of course, I mean it's cold in Los Angeles.
I like that cold. That weather is why I moved here.
I'm constantly chasing that perfect temperature, and we really get
it here in the winter time. I don't miss the
changing of the seasons because, like you notice, the snow
starts to come down in December, maybe the leaves start
to change in late September. It's all very romantic at
(11:51):
the beginning, and you get over it really fast once
Christmas passes and it's just nasty snow and it's cold,
and you've got three months of that, and then it's
just allergy season, and then it's just brutal.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
Humidity in the summer.
Speaker 3 (12:09):
The humidity in Cleveland when I spent my summers with
my grandparents was breathtaking.
Speaker 10 (12:15):
It's you can't breathe. Yeah, but there are times in
the winter you can see the air. In the summer,
you can look at it, you can smell it on
your clothes. Yeah, exactly. And then in the winter it's
cold in places like Cleveland, it's cold in places like
Cincinnati and northern Kentucky where I'm from, it's so cold
that it hurts to breathe. Yeah, you feel the air,
and I don't miss that.
Speaker 3 (12:34):
And they have, you know, on my Cleveland's on the
southeast side of Lake Erie, so there's a lake effect,
and that means all the snow that's coming off that lake.
It's Cleveland, Buffalo, you know, northern Ohio and eastern New
York and they get wiped out.
Speaker 10 (12:51):
And the Great Lakes are beautiful, they really are. Lake
Erie is the smallest. I mean it's not the smallest.
I think Ontario is the smallest, but Lake Lake Erie
is one of the two stallest. I would summer a
vacation up in northern Michigan on Lake Michigan and Lake Huron.
Because of what I said a moment ago, I'm constantly
chasing that and it's perfect up there in the summer.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
Is that up near Marquette exactly?
Speaker 10 (13:12):
Marquette's on the upper Peninsula, but the lower Peninsula, Traverse City, Pataski, Mcinnall.
Speaker 3 (13:18):
And every one of those cities is like it. It
could be turned into a coffee table book. They're beautiful.
They all kind of look the same. Is the smallest
great lake by the way, it is Erieerie. Thank you, Courscher.
I appreciate the fact, Jack for sure. What I mean,
all right, so Warner Brothers and Burbank, they're in the news.
Speaker 10 (13:37):
Well, look, we know that there's this possible significant business
deal taking place in Hollywood. And when you look out
this window, what do you see Conway Warner brook You.
Speaker 3 (13:46):
See Warner Brooks, right, and we are in where and
we are in Hollywood, We're in Burbank.
Speaker 10 (13:51):
We're in the city of Burbank, of course technically, and
that's a big deal for the city of Burbank. They
call themselves the media capital of the world. And I mean,
you can't swing a can outside our studio without hitting
some of these places, and Warner Brothers is certainly one
of them. So as this deal with Netflix aggressively pursuing
a purchase of Warner Brothers Discovery and then Paramount Skydance
(14:12):
getting involved trying to sneak in the back door to
do their own acquisition of this company, people in the
entertainment business are nervous. But as far as Burbank goes,
it's kind of like a local business issue. It's like
that Tyson plants and Nebraska closing down, Like what does
this mean for our local economy?
Speaker 1 (14:30):
That's the question.
Speaker 10 (14:31):
So last week one of the city council members here
in Burbank, Constantine Anthony, says, we need to get it
together and prepare litigation to get involved in this and
possibly stop it because they're worried about losing those jobs.
Speaker 3 (14:43):
Okay, but the reason why they're doing that is because
they fell asleep when NBC used to be right there.
Speaker 1 (14:50):
That was NBC.
Speaker 3 (14:51):
They moved to Universal Disney, which owns ABC, moved that
to Glendale and at Burbank doesn't want to be coached
like this.
Speaker 10 (15:01):
And it's not as big a deal if it's not
as big a deal for a worker. Say you live
in Tarzana and you work at NBC and it was
here on this lot next to iHeart and Burbank and
has since moved to Universal City. Right, that's not a
big deal for that worker. But it is a big
deal it is for Burbank, right, because that's money that comes.
Speaker 1 (15:20):
Right.
Speaker 3 (15:20):
But I think they were asleep at the wheel when
NBC moved and when ABC was put in Glendale, and
they don't want that anymore, and so I think there's
a little bit of you know, they're reacting to the
citizens of Burbank looking at another major laws for Burbank. Plus,
you know, Burbank is the only city in all of
California the doubles in population every day because of the workforce.
(15:42):
Burbank's one hundred and five thousand people and there's two
hundred and ten thousand people at work in Burbank.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
It's a lot of people.
Speaker 10 (15:47):
So Councilman Anthony proposed this at this week's council meeting
and was told this by the city attorney Foosh.
Speaker 11 (15:56):
First, I can tell you we don't have authority to file.
Speaker 1 (15:59):
Such an action.
Speaker 11 (16:01):
The state action for unfair competition is Business and Professions
Code one seven two hundred. It's the California Attorney General,
Rob Bonto that has authority to bring those actions, as
well as district attorneys and city attorneys for cities with
a population of seven hundred and fifty thousand or more.
(16:22):
There's four of those, Los Angeles, San Diego, San Jose,
and San Francisco. So we do not possess the authority.
It brings such an action on our own, and I
would have to seek outside council even to provide memorandum
to the council. So also the memorandum.
Speaker 10 (16:45):
That I provide, well that's okay, Well he's going to say,
there's also if I do prepare this memorandum, it's basically
preparing to go to war in a courtroom, which means
we can't present this to the public.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
It's protected. It's very very prime.
Speaker 10 (17:00):
It's why city councils go into a closed session and
talk about these things. So here's what they decided after
this meeting and the attorney saying, we're not la You
just noted their population. It doesn't meet the seven hundred
and fifty thousand threshold. They're going to write a strongly
worded letter to their federal and state leaders and ask
them to keep it.
Speaker 1 (17:20):
Oh, that's so classic, buddy, that is so rich. You know.
The city Attorney's like, we can't do anything here.
Speaker 10 (17:27):
Well, what's interesting about it is because, as we've just
been discussing, all of these internationally known companies are right
here in Burbank. That's right, And Burbank doesn't have legal
recourse to get involved in this very significant deal because
it just happens to be a small, relatively in La County,
small city.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
Swinging a miss big time.
Speaker 3 (17:48):
Yeah, buddy, thanks for coming in Saturday, seven to nine,
seven to nine, will be right here on kfive, right
here on AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
Thing wrong with you, buddy?
Speaker 9 (17:57):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
Am six forty.
Speaker 3 (18:03):
You know what Steckler used to do every New Year's
He hated New Year's. Doug Steckler hated New Year's And
I can't tell you why, but he had a really
bad experience on New Year's and he hated him.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
He hated everything about it. You don't know why you're
not alive. I know why, but I'm not going to
tell you why.
Speaker 3 (18:20):
It's it's really bad. So he hated New Year's and
it was a heartbreak that he had on New Year's.
So what he did was he hired when he had
a lot of money, he would hire a doctor to
come to the house. And the doctor he would put
(18:43):
some of these chemicals, you know, sleeping agents together, and
he would literally at noon on December thirty first, administer
the drugs and put Steckler out until noon on January first,
and he would stay there and monitor him, and he would, yeah,
he would put him to sleep, put rubber sheets on
(19:05):
the bed in case.
Speaker 1 (19:05):
He soiled himself. Oh my god, put himself out.
Speaker 12 (19:10):
Is this all because his mom embarrassed him and said
I'm in the.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
No no, no, no, no no no.
Speaker 3 (19:16):
That's that he got over that. That's that's actually a
great story. My Doug Steckler was going to school and
he was a goofy kid.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
He was like me, you know.
Speaker 3 (19:27):
He didn't have a lot of game in fourth grade,
not that he had any junior high or high school either,
but and he would admit that, but leu Anne was
the prettiest girl in his class. And I think fourth
or fifth grade and he was at sears shopping for
back to school clothing in Vermilion, South Dakota, where he's from.
(19:48):
And Doug Steckler was my old partner on radio when
I was on Kala Sex. He also was a writer.
He's an Emmy Award winner for SCTV. He was very
good friends with John Candy and Marty Short. He grew
up in that same went through set with that same class,
and just one of the funniest, smartest guys you've ever
met in your life.
Speaker 1 (20:07):
And he saw this.
Speaker 3 (20:10):
He was in fifth grade and he's at sears with
his mom and he sees lu Anne and he comes
around a corner and she comes around the corner. They
almost run into each other, and he goes, oh, I'm sorry,
and she goes, oh, that's okay, Doug, nice to see you.
And he's like, you know who I am and she goes, yeah,
you're Doug Steckler, and his heart dropped. And he sat
(20:33):
there for two minutes talking to the prettiest girl in
his elementary school and she knew who he was, and
talking and talking and talking, laughing, telling stories about what
happened in school, really hitting it off. And then his
mom from about forty feet away said.
Speaker 1 (20:57):
Hey, Doggie, I found the husky section that was a wrap.
She looked down.
Speaker 3 (21:09):
He looked down, and he went to the husky section
because he's a big kid growing up, you know, and
we're the husky clothes. And he said he could tell
you the square of linoleum in that seers where he
was standing. It just burned a hole in his brain.
Speaker 1 (21:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (21:28):
By one of the funniest, smartest men you've ever met
your life. Here's here's one of the funny things he did,
one of millions. We were driving. We used to work
in Toronto. We used to live in Toronto and work
in Hamilton. It's about an hour and a half drive
there and back on the four to one if you're
familiar with that part of Canada. So we drive to Hamilton,
work all day on a show called Boogie's Diner. Anybody anybody, No, okay?
(21:52):
And then we drive home. We drive back there, drive
home every day, five days a week. And we drove
by and he says, can you get off at the
next exit. I said, yeah, you go to a good bathroom.
He goes, no, I gotta go tell I gotta go
talk to that hotel owner back there. So I said okay.
So I get off the freeway and I go back
to the hotel and this little tiny motel in the
middle of nowhere between Hamilton and Toronto and run down
(22:15):
motel on the side of the road, and he goes
and he stops. He goes, you gotta take a picture
with me with this road sign and the sign on
the front of the hotel. This is a hotel where
you would go if you could not possibly travel another inch.
Like you you just had to pass out and quickly
get eight hours rest and get back on the road,
(22:36):
or you had no money, and this is your last resort.
Speaker 1 (22:39):
It was a hotel for losers.
Speaker 3 (22:43):
And on the outside of that it said motel like
Greenway Motel. And on the outside on their marquee had
said your eleventh night is free night. He said, you
got to take a picture with me at this hotel,
the crappiest hotel in the world.
Speaker 1 (23:03):
Your eleventh night is free.
Speaker 3 (23:05):
And then he goes into the lobby goes, I got
to talk to the kid that put that up. And
there was this young kid in there who was just
busting everybody's balls, and he loved that. Doug Steckler came
in and complimented on that joke. He was super for
that kid. He's like eighteen year old kid, and he goes, yeah,
I did that. Isn't that great? He goes, Buddy, That's
one of the funniest things I've ever seen in my life.
(23:25):
The eleventh night is free. I remember that moment like
it was yesterday. Man, the smartest, funniest guy in the world.
Douglas Marsden Steckler from South from Vermilion, South Dakota.
Speaker 1 (23:39):
Ah, it's sweet man.
Speaker 9 (23:41):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (23:47):
Ding Dong.
Speaker 3 (23:48):
This is a radical traffic day. So if you're stuck
in traffic, I relax. We'll be here with your old
seven and so we're hanging out together. We got another
two hours and eleven minutes, so just don't get crazy.
All right, there's traffic. It's gotta be one of the
worst traffic days of the year. Angel Is it the
worst traffic day of the year next to the Wednesday
(24:09):
before Thanksgiving? Aren't a lot of people leaving today to
get away for the holiday?
Speaker 12 (24:13):
It really seems like it. I mean, we're seeing huge delays,
and then on top of that, there's like big incidents
that are adding to the miserable drive.
Speaker 1 (24:21):
That's already there. Ah, christ, where's that tahunga?
Speaker 12 (24:26):
This big rig fire? The two ten westbound at Latuna
Canyon Road, they only have not even a legitimate lane,
the center divider and the left lane. People, are you
buy through the two to ten westbound?
Speaker 1 (24:43):
Well that sucks? All right?
Speaker 12 (24:46):
All right, thank you Angel, Hey Tim, you're welcome, he said,
thank you Angel. Yeah, oh thanks Angels, thanks you guys, thanks.
Speaker 6 (24:55):
Thank you.
Speaker 3 (24:56):
There she goes, all right, let's thank you, thank you
very much. All right, Hey, somebody said us a Christmas
you know, let's do something light. I hate all this
murder crap that we gotta do. Here, somebody sent us
something pretty cool. It's a Christmas song and they rewrote
the word. Let's give it a listen. Here we go.
Speaker 1 (25:28):
Ok, Well this.
Speaker 9 (25:33):

Speaker 11 (26:17):

Speaker 1 (26:18):
Makes me want to jump out this window because of
all the ding dongs. Let's play it again.
Speaker 3 (26:28):
I like that about that one one of the this
was my favorite party show fits perfectly.
Speaker 1 (26:40):
Wait, hey fit in the time.
Speaker 3 (26:50):
He's at home listening like f that guy. I'm not
doing I'm not doing this crap again. No, I'm just kidding.
It's great. It's the greatest thing I've heard.
Speaker 1 (26:58):
All right, let's get in to this story. Here.
Speaker 3 (27:03):
We have time, yet, we have time. This is a
crazy story Nick Reiner. Mark garre Goes is chiming in
on why and who hired Alan Jackson to represent Nick
Reiner in the death and the stabbing death of his parents,
Rob and Michelle Reiner.
Speaker 14 (27:21):
And obviously this neighborhood's still reeling from what happened this weekend,
really trying to sort it all out, both the emotions
and figuring out what exactly happened this weekend. The specifics
haven't really come out, and today a very prominent defense
attorney who knows a little something about murdered parents is
weighing in on what a possible defense strategy could be.
Flowers and holiday candles placed outside Rob and Michelle Reiner's
Brentwood home where the couple were killed over the weekend.
(27:43):
For the next three weeks, their son Nick Reyner, who's
charged with their murders, will wait in jail for his
January arrangement as his high profile attorney, Alan Jackson spends
the holidays preparing a defense. Another prominent defense attorney, Mark Gerrigos,
who currently represents the Menendez brothers who famously killed their parents,
thinks he knows what Jackson's strategy will be.
Speaker 5 (28:01):
I would believe not just that in not guilty by
reason of insanity please in the works, but they put
over the arraignment because I believe what is happening is.
Speaker 13 (28:17):
A doubt as to the competency of Nick Reiner.
Speaker 14 (28:21):
Jackson was tight liptet.
Speaker 1 (28:22):
What was that somebody else?
Speaker 3 (28:24):
Was that another channel that was open when he was
explaining that, like the meat of that story, and then
somebody else was talking.
Speaker 13 (28:31):
What a doubt as to the competency of Nick Reiner.
Speaker 3 (28:40):
Okay, this, Alan Jackson's got a very difficult job because
you don't want to trash Rob and Michelle Reiner, like
you have to to get this kid off, but you
don't want to seem like you're too eager to put
this kid to death or send him to jail for
the rest of his life either. And if he does
(29:01):
end up trashing Like, let's say he does take that
route where he says, you know, Carl Reiner and Michelle
were horrible parents to this kid. I don't know if
they worry or not. But let's say he does go
that route. People are gonna be really pissed off to
hear that. And he's trashing Rob Reiner and Michelle Reiner
with their money. Nick's broke, it's going to be their
(29:22):
own money hiring a lawyer to trash them. Oh, it's
a very difficult job. This guy has, this Alan Jackson.
I don't envy him at all. He's in a no
win position. If he gets this kid off, people will
hate him. If he doesn't get this kid off, people
will hate him. And Michelle and Rob Reiner were very
well liked in Hollywood, and they don't like the taste
(29:42):
of this high powered attorney going to trash Michelle and
Rob Reiner. It's gonna be very difficult. If I was
Alan Jackson, I'd quit, I'd quit, I'd go on to
something else. This is not the case for you, because
this case will only lead to a lot of people
hate you. A lot of people in Hollywood. The only
(30:03):
people are going to really warm up to you are murderers,
you know, future murderers. I guess that's what you're in
for them. You know, that's who pays you people murder.
So maybe he's going after that crew.
Speaker 1 (30:16):
Who knows.
Speaker 3 (30:17):
All right, we are I'm sorry. The Rams play tonight.
This is a big story tonight Rams in Seattle. This
is a Monday night, I mean sorry, Thursday night football game.
And it's going to be the first time eleven and three,
two teams that are eleven three get together and play
each other. And this is potentially for all the marbles,
(30:37):
so it's going to be a huge game. The Rams
have put on a watch party at Sofi Stadium, So
if you go to Sofi Stadium. I don't know if
it's invite only. I heard it was just for seasoned
seat holders, but maybe I don't know. You know somebody
who is associated with the Rams, and you can fly
out there and watch the game in a big, huge
(30:57):
watch party, you know watch party. These usually don't happen
in Los Angeles for a couple of reasons. One is
nobody wants to fight traffic to go watch a game
that they can watch at home. The reason why works
in New York and you know Montreal and Toronto is
because people just take the subway. They go to the
you know, the stadium, they watch with thirty eight thousand people,
(31:20):
and then they go home on the subway and you
can get there real quickly. But nobody wants to fight
three hours of traffic to watch a game that you
can watch at home. Plus people in New York they
don't have big screen TVs. I've never seen an apartment
in New York with a big screen TV, not once
in my life. But in LA, everybody's got one. Everybody
(31:41):
has a big screen. Every single home I've ever walked into.
In Los Angeles they have sixty sixty inch, six seventy inch,
eighty five, ninety inch. They have these huge TVs. We
are all about the big TVs. But in New York,
everybody has like a twenty four inch you know, maybe
I don't know, twelve inch, maybe thirty two if the
guy's wild. But we have great TVs out here in LA,
(32:05):
and we hate traffic, so it's very difficult to get
for you to get thirty thousand people to drive and
pay to watch a game that you could watch at
home for free. All right, We're live on KFI AM
six forty.
